The cover for the next book, ‘The Fat Lady Sings’. Hand-painted photograph.
I’ve finally started the book, but I’m just adding things slowly. I need to paint faster.
A photograph of a house in Lavenham, England, for the book. For the poem ‘love is a runaway train’. I’m up to page 85 so far, so it’s comin’ along.
‘Tin Man’. Male doll, silver mirror spray paint, heart-shaped button. For the poem ‘a tin man and a lion’.
The moon over Rangitoto Island, New Zealand. For the poem ‘the soft cocoon of sleep’.
These look similar. I didn’t plan it, it just worked out that way. The first photo is from New Zealand, and the second is Jupiter’s clouds.
‘turn me over’ potato bag assemblage. Miniature playing card, plastic heart, bead, paint.
Perfume bottle plastic skull assemblage.
Jo, Rapunzel, the house in Oshawa.
Gold torso, dollar store plastic torso, gold chocolate bar foil, rub-on tattoo, torn collage heart from wrapping paper.
